Abstract

This research aims to develop ultra high shock resistant sensors that can be launched on a special high-speed projectile. A new set of MEMS RF and sensor components will be designed, fabricated, integrated, and tested in an environment characterized by extreme acceleration (150,000 to 300,000g). The special high-speed projectile will allow flat-trajectory, near-instantaneous placement of the MEMS RF and sensor components at distances in excess of 1000 m onto surfaces such as solid concrete.
